This is a compulsory course for Intermediate LLB students and BA Anthropology and Law first year students. It is also available to General Course students and as an outside option. 

Introduction to the law of contract, including formation of contracts, express and implied terms, misrepresentation, exclusion clauses, remedies for breach of contract, and regulation of consumer transactions. Introduction to the principles of the law of restitution. Introduction to the law of torts: negligence and other specific torts; causation, defences. Remedies for torts.

The course is taught by means of two lectures (LL104) per week and one class (LL104.A) per week. The lectures will be given by a number of different teachers. The basic work is done through the classes, and the lectures are designed to introduce the topics on the syllabus.

Each student will be expected to produce four pieces of written work in the course of the year. This will be set, marked and returned by each class teacher.

A general reading list will be issued at the commencement of each term. Students should follow the advice of their class teachers as to the textbooks to be read.

Three-hour formal examination in the ST, which requires candidates to answer questions in contract and tort. There is a resit examination in this paper in September.
